Seraph smiled slightly, he was getting stronger. However, this slight happiness didn't last long as he realized that more wolves would probably come if he continued to just stand around.
Seraph looked around and picked a direction, He didn't know where he was going and his plan of returning home was less of a plan and more of a pipe dream, the forest was huge. After meeting Alex and his companion halfway to John's camp John ran off in a random direction deeper into the forest that Seraph merely followed.
'I guess john thought, he could navigate himself back to the camp… But I'm not nearly educated enough to do that.' Seraph felt bitter, not only had John died. He was lost and had no way of taking out his revenge. Unless Alex actively hunts down seraph or they stumble across each other in the forest, he would not be seeing him for a long time.
'If I keep running deeper into the forest, I'm not gonna be able to eat… I won't even have water either. I need to find some water and then some shelter… I could live off the wolves I kill.' His mind was attempting to make good of the situation, he formulated a plan, however, this plan might as well be a shot in the dark… He was going to have to run all around the forest to find some water and then find a shelter that might not be owned by intelligent wolves.
Seraph knew this, which made him tighten his hand around his spear. He began to relax soon after, 'System.'
[ Yes? ]
A message appeared in front of seraph's face, 'If I enchant my spear into a holy spear. Would the wolves explode from that attack also?'
[ Yes and No ]
[ The wolves explode because of the highly dense and concentrated amount of holy energy impacting on their sinful bodies. However, If you were to enchant your spear into a holy spear that would not be the case… the enchants on the spear make it durable and more sharper and also it can release holy energy in a blast or if the users level is high enough the enchanted spear may provide some other bonuses. ]
'Can I enchant my spear?' Seraph asked soon after the system's message was done.
[ Yes, the only thing the hosts needs to do is purify the spear.]
Seraph nodded, followed by him activating the skill purify. Light breemed from his palm and then made electrical scratch marks up the pole of the spear, the intricate carvings circled around the center of the spear before finally making their way to the spear tip which was also covered in markings. The Spear shined brightly before stopping.
Seraph felt the spear become incredibly lighter, he nodded his head in approval 'Now send the souls exc-'
Seraph felt his body become heavy, he stumbled before catching himself on a tree. The back of the spear was planted to the ground as seraph's elbow leaned on the tree and his arm curved to his face to cup his forehead.
'What's happening?' Seraph felt his head splitting, His body felt heavier than ever before. Even when he was being beaten back on earth, he didn't feel this kind of tiredness…
[ Host mana is dangerously low. Recommend host to find place to sleep quickly. ]
'Why the hell didn't you tell me I might need to sleep if I used purify!' Seraph was gritting his teeth.
The system didn't respond this time, Seraph grunted. He pulled himself off the tree and began to run fast. His eyes darted around the place, his mental capacity was working slower than normal causing him to stumble around and move slower than he would like to.
Seraph after stumbling aimlessly through the forest finally found a little river, He moved his spear and marked an X across a tree. He didn't have time to admire how sharp the spear was yet, as he quickly finished up. His head choosing a direction before walking into it with determination, he was just picking one direction and hoping his luck was on par.
After walking through the woods for what felt like hours, he felt like his consciousness was going to leave him any moment. So he began creating a makeshift shelter, in actuality he was just going to pile shrubbery on top of himself and hope that nothing finds him beneath the piles of branches, leaves and bushes. After his head touched the ground, he went light outs.
Meanwhile…
Three young wolves were tracking the scent of a human. 'This human is strange, he has wolf blood covering him… The human stood here for a moment.'
He then whipped his head in another direction, his fellow wolves following him closely. They were tracking the scent of the human because it looked like the human was alone emerging after some battle with their own kind… All three of them thought that this would be a great opportunity to learn something new.
"Hey! Elde, How close is the human?" The Youngest of the three wolves, turned their head and let out a soft yip in his direction.
Elde was the one leading the pack, he was also a wolf with a unique physique as well. His nose was bigger than normal so was his entire body, standing next to his peers he would look taller and more threatening even though he was technically the same age as them.
The wolf that was leading the small 'expedition' didn't turn his head; he just kept on sniffing the ground "He should be close…" He let out a small growl.
…
Seraph was still sleeping, however, he heard soft barkings and yips around him 'Shit! They're already here… that was fast.' Seraph had gotten some hours of rest. His body still felt groggy and the pain in his head was now like a ghost.
'What's my status?' Seraph wanted to know what was wrong with his body before he did something drastic

[ You have not completely rested. Recommended that host does not use any mana or you will immediately pass out to recover it. ]
'How much mana do i have?'
[ Enough for One holy Spear ]
'My defensive stat and mana have weakened a bit…' He felt powerless, however… his brain began to work hard.
He continued hiding, the wolves were getting closer and closer to him. He knew their guard was high, so this first strike that he was going to have to pull off must be perfect. He put away the spear and then tightly held onto the long knife that John had 'given' him, his breathing slowly began to grow wildly…
He heard one of the wolves softly growl, then a wolf leave. Then silence, complete silence… The grip on his knife never stopped tightening. Until he heard a slight snapping of twigs, he bolted forward, his legs kicked the ground and he rolled out from under the foliage. In the air he could see a wolf sailing above him toward the position he was just at.
His knife snaked its way and decisively struck the young wolf's hind legs, the wolf whimpered as it crashed onto the ground. Seraph had already stood up, he held his knife like an ice pick and he looked around wearily.
The young wolf turned around and barked at seraph, which drew his attention back to him. Then an even younger wolf peeked its head out from the shadows and began to circle behind seraph's back as Elde watched the fight play out from the shadows.
The Youngest wolf, finally pounced at seraph. However, as if seraph had eyes on the back of his head he leapt to the side and began to sprint away.
Elde barked, ordering the wolves to follow him as he chased the human. The human wasn't that fast, however Elde knew that the human was extremely dangerous. They were able to predict an attack that they couldn't see… However, in the state that the human was in he doubted that they should last long…
Elde's nose has never failed him, not only was their wolf blood on the human there was human blood on him. Meaning that the human should be severely injured, because of his ripped clothing and his exposed bloody leg the human would be collapsing any minute now.
Elde saw the human put away his knife and take out his spear, Elde closely followed the human for about an entire minute until he realized that the human wasn't bleeding…
Elde barked at his companions, they separated, one began chasing behind seraph as the others went to his sides. A wolf finally ran out from the shrubbery, Elde. He rushed at Seraph's leg and raised a paw to scratch it… Seraph expertly moved his staff twirling it as he slapped the wolves paw down, and then approached the wolves head with a swift thrust.
The wolf was still running just like seraph, the wolf nimbly moved its body out of the way of the thrust, its tail weaving around seraph's spear to brush him then he went back into the woods. A small paper sized cut appeared on seraphs leg as The wolf began barking without meaning, the other wolves did the same making a wall of sound that constantly followed behind seraph… A wolf finally made a move, as it cut in front of seraph and began to bark while moving rapidly.
Shadows of the wolves made their entrance, However, Seraph grabbed his spear and swept it infront of him. The wolf realized seraph had seen through his trick and narrowly bounced away to avoid the strike.
This went on for another ten minutes, the wolves charging at seraph, seraph retaliating with a thrust or a sweep of his spear. Seraph got damaged slightly, Seraph was not omnipotent… he made mistakes, sometimes his spear thrusts missed causing him to get nicked by the wolf. The younger wolves were also smaller than elde making them hard to hit…
Seraph's body was filled with blood now, His chest had received a few strikes and so did his legs. Seraph however, did the best he could to protect his body… All the strikes he received were minor…
Elde had been trailing seraph, he was calm and collected. Seraph was bleeding out, which was a good enough thing for him… If things continued on like this. Seraph would die and Elde and his crew would pull his body back home.
